#Ponzi: Fifteen years after Bernie Madoff and now nothing much learned: Sam Bankman-Fried. Simon Constable, WSJ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Madoff 1915 Wall Street

PREVIEW: From a longer conversation, Simon Constable writing in WSJ recounts what the convicted and deceased financial fraudster Bernie Madoff (1923-2021) has in common with the convicted financial fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried (1992-). 1908 St. Regis Hotel, NYC

Darren Berg was a bit of a scammer. He scammed his fraternity brothers at the University of Oregon. He scammed a Portland bank. Following each scam, Darren received a slap on the wrist. So was it any surprise that Darren moved onto bigger scams? (No. The answer is no.) By the mid-2000s, Darren was running a $150 million dollar Ponzi scheme. He had two yachts, two private jets, and a sweet hot tub to show for it. And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Seattle Roasted,” episode of American Greed “Financial empire, luxurious lifestyle were built on a a mirage,” by Rami Grunbaum for Seattle Times “Prison escape of Darren Berg, Washington's ‘Mini Madoff,' is like ‘Shawshank Redemption,' official says,” by Mike Carter for the Seattle Times “Darren Berg on the Run: Inside the biggest ponzi scheme in Washington State history,” by Clara O'Rourke for Seattle Met “Escaped Ponzi scammer possibly went to Brazil,” by Michael Balsamo and Chad Day for the Associated Press YOU'RE STILL READING?

#474: When Tiffany Aliche was in her 20's, she fell victim to a credit card scam. A crafty swindler convinced her to take out a cash advance against her credit card for $35,000. He said that he'd invest the money and produce Bernie Madoff-style returns. She was an inexperienced investor. She believed him. She never saw that money again. Aliche worked at a preschool. She didn't make much money to begin with. But matters worsened when the school shut down, and she lost her job. She fell behind on mortgage payments and lost her condo. In order to recover from such huge setbacks, she had to grapple with an enormous sense of financial shame. Today, financial educator Tiffany Aliche, better known as The Budgetnista, shares how she overcame financial shame. She talks to us about the opposite of shame, which is a sense of financial wholeness. And she discusses practical tips for how to navigate the challenges of debt and scams.

Why do people immediately leaving a church service proceed to cut you off in the parking lot or, immediately before it, park in “no parking” fire zones? Don't you think Bernie Madoff's entire family figured out he was crooked and simply ignored what they knew? Politicians curry favor with popular positions but then feel free to change positions once elected and safe. The pandemic was, I believe, dishonestly manipulated by politicians and the medical community which led to more illness than necessary, harsher restriction than required, and more public acrimony than would otherwise have been the case. Learn here examples of why both John Denver and Nancy Pelosi have been inauthentic. False praise is far more harmful than honest, negative feedback. If you lie enough on your resume, you eventually begin to really believe the lie, which is why business executives, military leaders, and academicians often face humiliating ousters late in their glorious careers. President Biden has been caught in lies about awards he claims to have received and his class ranking in law school People blame third parties rather than being true to themselves. “It was the officiating.” “It was the weather.” “It was cheating.” Being true to yourself requires that you know who you are, and not pretending to be someone else, better, different. Are you attentive to others or self-centered, true to yourself or painting a false picture, creating fiction? Finally, learn about the institution that I think is the most hypocritical university in the country.

From confusing labor market reports to the volatility of geopolitics, you'll want to tune into this episode to get a sneak peek of what's ahead in 2024. Because if any group can make an economic update and 2024 forecast provocative, insightful, engaging, and even witty, It's right here. Faced with all but certain economic volatility and uncertainty, the Odeon Capital Conversations team, consisting of Dick Bove, Mat Van Alstyne and John Aidan Byrne,  once again joined Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization hosts. In a spirited exchange, they unraveled the enigma of a staggering $65 trillion surge in managed assets, debated the impending turbulence of 2024's economic landscape, dissected the profound implications of a rapidly widening wealth gap, and shed light on prospects for a roaring GDP or recession. Leaving no stone unturned, they even covered GDP trends,, the impact of the Ukraine and Gaza wars, the fall of commercial real estate, and a comparison between the Sam Bankman-Fried and Bernie Madoff scandals. Key Episode Highlights: 1. Economic Insights: The substantial increase in managed money in the United States has one of the top bank analysts in the country stumped. The team delved into the implications of this growth, including government deficits, rising debt, and the impact on household wealth. 2. Labor Market and Inflation: The conversation touched upon the challenges within the labor market, the confusing and contradictory monthly BLS reports, the potential impact of inflation, and the unpredictability of job gains, signaling stress among workers. 3. Wealth Gap and Financial Stability: Discussions centered on the rise in household debts, the surge in consumer spending, the fall of savings, and concerns regarding the wealth gap, as well as the potential need for universal basic income to address income inequality. 4. Future Predictions: And what would an end-of-year podcast be without predictions for 2024? Our guests shared their insights and predictions for the coming years, with surprising perspectives on economic and political outlook, with some foreseeing a potential recession while others were optimistic, even with major geopolitical challenges ahead.

Magnus Heystek of Brenthurst Wealth Management knew within minutes that the investment scheme that has lost investors billions was “rubbish” - and he was able to advise a client to pull R3 million to safety. That is revealed by Heystek in this interview with BizNews on one of South Africa's biggest Ponzi schemes. Investors have been counting their losses ever since the scheme's mastermind Craig Warriner - dubbed South Africa's Bernie Madoff - handed himself over to police.  A court has now ordered the sequestration of the BHI Trust.  Heystek shares a copy of the BHI Trust and Plus application forms which clearly states under Terms and Conditions, Point 12: “The investor acknowledges that he understands that the investment is not registered under any law and is unregulated.” Heystek points out: “It says there clearly this is a very dangerous investment scheme.”

Christian Ashcroft, the St Stithians old boy once blinded by admiration for SA's version of Bernie Madoff, became trapped in a devastating Ponzi scheme orchestrated by his one-time hero, fellow school alumnus Craig Warriner. Entrusting Warriner with his entire inheritance, Ashcroft was left grappling with betrayal when the truth was unveiled. As one of two trustees of the dubious BHI Trust, he sought legal guidance from attorney Caitlin Gottschalk, fearing potential liability and desperate to reclaim lost funds. This gripping saga unravels layers of deceit, exploring the fine line between trust and betrayal. Gottschalk spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

After 15 years of running a Ponzi scheme, financial advisor Craig Warriner confessed, handed himself over, pleaded guilty to any and all charges and is seeking the safety of a single cell in prison. An old boy of the prestigious Johannesburg school St Stithians, Warriner, who appears to be the South African equivalent of Bernie Madoff, has lost billions of clients' rand through a trust named after Berkshire Hathaway. David Shapiro unpacks the story, highlighting red flags that will help others avoid falling into the clutches of fraudsters like this. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.

A pair of high-profile fraud trials are competing for headlines out of New York courtrooms, with accountants serving as marquee witnesses. Accounting has been a common theme across both the criminal trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, who faces federal fraud charges for allegedly siphoning customer funds from the now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange, and the civil trial of former President Donald Trump, who is accused by the New York attorney general of inflating the value of real estate on years of his financial statements. As financial frauds have become more complex, accountants increasingly play a role in court—as witnesses, experts, or even the accused. On this episode of Talking Tax, Amanda Iacone, Bloomberg Tax senior reporter, spoke with Bruce Dubinsky, a forensic accountant whose work has spanned frauds involving Enron, Parmalat, and Bernie Madoff. They talked about how the role of accountants in the courtroom has evolved and how their testimony has unfolded in these two trials. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is a lot of things — but he's not Bernie Madoff.It's an important distinction, and one that will have to land with the jury at trial if SBF's legal team is going to have a chance at defending against the seven charges he's facing.The good news: Even Bernie Madoff's former prosecutor, Marc Litt, knows this case isn't a repeat of the multibillion-dollar fraud perpetrated by America's most infamous fraudster.The bad news: Fraud is still fraud."The case isn't about cryptocurrency — it's about, again, representations made and not kept. It's about taking money from one pocket and using it for purposes of another company in another pocket without the investor knowing that, and with taking efforts to conceal that. That's not hard for a jury to understand," Litt said.In the fourth episode of our investigation into the SBF's upcoming trial defense, we dig into how Sam Bankman-Fried could walk free.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Bulwark's Article On Effective Altruism Is a Short Circuit, published by Omnizoid on September 27, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Crosspost of this on my blog. I really like the Bulwark. Their articles are consistently funny, well-written, and sensible. But recently, Mary Townsend wrote a critique of effective altruism titled "Effective Altruism Is a Short Circuit," that seems deeply confused. In fact, I will go further and make a stronger claim - there is not a single argument made in the entire article that should cause anyone to be less sympathetic to effective altruism at all! Every claim in the article is either true but irrelevant to the content of effective altruism or false. The article is crafted in many ways to mislead, confuse and induce negative affect in the reader but is light on anything of substance. For instance, the article begins with a foreboding picture of the notorious EA fraudster Sam Bankman Fried. This is not an explicit argument given, of course - it's just a picture. If it were forced to be an argument, it would not succeed - even if Bernie Madoff gave a lot of money to the Red Cross and has some role in planning operations, that would do nothing to discredit the Red Cross; the same principle is true of EA. But when one is writing a smear piece, they don't need to include real objections - they can just include things that induce disdain in the reader that they come to associate with the object of the author's criticism. Such is reminiscent of the flashing red letters that are ubiquitous in attack ads - good if one's aim is propaganda, bad if one's aim is truth. The article spends the first few paragraphs on mostly unremarkable philosophical musings about how we often have an urge to do good and we can choose what we do, filled with sophisticated-sounding references to philosophers and literature. Such musings help build the author's ethos as a Very Serious Person, but does little to provide an argument. However, after a few paragraphs of this, the author gets to the first real criticism: That one could become good through monetary transactions should raise our post-Reformation suspicions, obviously. As a simple response to the stipulation of a dreadful but equally simple freedom, it seems almost designed to hit us at the weakest spots of our human frailty, with disconcerting effects. Effective altruism doesn't claim, like those who endorsed indulgences, that one can become good through donating. It claims that one can do good through donating and that one should do good. The second half of that claim is a trivially obvious moral claim - we should help people more rather than less - and the first half of the claim is backed by quite overwhelming empirical evidence. While one can dispute the details somewhat, the claim that we can save the lives of faraway people for a few thousand dollars is incontrovertible given the weight of the available evidence - there's a reason that critics of EA never have specific criticisms of the empirical claims made by effective altruists. Once one acknowledges that those who give to effective charities can save hundreds of lives over the course of their lives by fairly modest donations, a claim that even critics of such giving generally do not dispute, the claim that one should donate significant amounts to charities in order to save the lives of lots of people who would otherwise have died of horrifying diseases ceases to be something that "raises our post-reformation suspicions." One imagines the following dialogue (between Townsend and a starving child): Child: Please, could I have five dollars. This would allow me to afford food today so I wouldn't be hungry. Townsend: Sorry, I'd love to help, but that one could become good through monetary transactions should raise our post-Reformation suspici...

Just days before Sam Bankman-Fried landed in a Brooklyn prison for breaking his bail agreement, he agreed to answer questions from the Coinage community. It would become his last interview before he was admitted to Metropolitan Detention Center. Surprisingly, he provided about 50 pages of documents outlining his defense strategy. In this exclusive series, we explore exactly what SBF says led to FTX downfall, and discuss SBF's exclusive defense strategy with experts, including the former prosecutor who took down Bernie Madoff.In Episode 1, we take a closer look at SBF's right-hand woman: Caroline Ellison. One of three FTX executives who have pleaded guilty, along with Gary Wang and Nishad Singh, Caroline Ellison was CEO of Alameda Research, SBF's bespoke trading firm that operated on FTX. Caroline admits that she committed crimes during her time as the head of Alameda. SBF said he was unaware — and says it's precisely because he was unaware of just how badly Caroline was running Alameda that its collapse took down FTX. But does that defense stand a chance at trial?“It's tough for an MIT graduate who comes off as kind of a master of the universe type to argue that he's an idiot,” says Marc Litt.

We just got back from the first stop on our fall 2023 WITHpod tour. We're thrilled to share a recording of our live event at the Texas Tribune Festival with Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord, co-hosts of the MSNBC podcast, “Prosecuting Donald Trump.” Weissmann and McCord, who are both former federal prosecutors, joined in Austin, TX to discuss former president and criminal defendant Trump's continually growing legal issues as the country prepares for the presidential election in 2024. They also talk about the key point that up until recently, everything that's ever happened to Trump in the past with regards to the law has happened in the regime of civil law, which charges in their view will be the clearest, whether they think he will be convicted before Election Day in 2024 and so much more.**WITHpod Live Tour Special Announcement**Join us on the road.

A guy who was indicted for bribery and corruption 5 years has been indicted for bribery and corruption. Are we going to learn of a scam that is along the lines of Bernie Madoff, Lincoln Savings and Loan, and Enron? I'm think yes but no one will do anything about it. And even a blind squirrel gets a nut. I'm talking about the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, getting something right.

A Houston Racketeering Ring of “Mini-Madoffs” Has Been Extorting Victims Out of Their Life Savings For Decades. The Syndicate Is Also Linked to a Tragic 2016 Murder-Suicide Involving Two Children.April 19, 2021MURDER AND FRAUD IN TEXASLakshimanarayan “Lucky” Srinivasan, Jeremy Raju Srinivasan, Gwendolyn “Gwen” Stone Stallworth-Sumrall, Alvar Chari, Anirban Haldar and their many co-conspirators, have conned individuals, families, businesses and other organizations out of multiple millions of dollars in cash and assets over the past several decades, leaving many of their victims destitute and their lives ripped apart. The racketeering ring has used a combination of check-kiting, reverse Ponzi and other fraudulent investment schemes to extort money from their hard-working victims, court records show. In 2016, under mounting financial pressure caused by his and his co-conspirators' volitional fraudulent entanglements, Jeremy murdered his wife and two young children before fatally turning the gun on himself. Lucky, Gwen and the others continue to actively seek new investors to swindle.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Welcome to another edition of our Learning from Financial Fraud Series. In this segment, we delve into the notorious Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme. Join us as we unravel the intricate layers of this scandal, where Bernie Madoff, a once-respected financier, orchestrated an elaborate scheme that entrapped countless investors.

Bill was a very successful businessman for a lot of years. About 10 years ahead of retirement, he decided to entrust a lot of money to the investment wizardry of Bernie Madoff. And when Madoff's Ponzi scheme imploded, Bill joined many others who now had to wonder where their money went. And he thought of suicide.    For fully two years, he struggled to get out of bed. He felt sapped of energy every waking moment. Then, on a park bench one afternoon, he met Mildred, who shared the Good News of Jesus with him. And Bill said later that during his walk home, he could feel blood flow back into his legs. And by the time he got home, he dusted off a Bible and began his journey to Christ. He says, “He saved me in every way. I no longer felt weak and helpless. Today, I look forward to my future.”   Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” And Christ longs to give you the strength to live a full life.    Let's pray.   Lord, our hope is in You and You alone. Thank You for loving us enough to want the very best for us. Thank You for strength for the journey. In Jesus' name, amen.

She was one of four reporters honored in 1996 by the Deadline Club, the New York City chapter of the Sigma Delta Chi professional journalism society, for a series on how wealthy Americans legally sidestep taxes. She has explored the expansion of tax breaks, regulatory exemptions and Congressional earmarks for religious nonprofits, and helped monitor commodity markets and money market funds in the financial turmoil of late 2008.

Introducing Justin Ross Lee the "Super Charged Super Jew" who refuses to fly anything other than first class or private, runs a company called "Pretentious Pocket Square," which sells super d paisley silk pocket squares with names like,"the Bateman" "the Madoff." A guy who calls himself the "Jewish Robinhood" because he deigns to leave first class and pour the "putz's" in coach glasses of Moet. If you combined things like: Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Global warming, bottle Service, private Planes, South Beach, corporate greed, trust fund babies, herpes, russian prostitutes, Bravo TV, cocaine conversations, new money, all the Real Housewives, guys who don't wear socks, investment bankers, Republicans, Hermes belts, Dolce Gabbana anything, and put them into a blender and then added a dash of semen, a gallon a jet fuel, and a sprinkle of Vagisil and you would create the Molotov cocktail that is Justin Ross Lee. His ringtone is Ass n Titties by DJ Assault, claims he doesn't like Asian Women because he doesn't do the "MSG" and is dripping in so much false testosterone and confidence that you feel like you have to take a shower the moment you lock eyes with him. It took him all of 5 minutes to show me a picture of his Tower of Piza leaning dick which has got to be a record for me. And even though he loves girls who are "shiksalicious," meaning fake tits, big vacant eyes, and super blonde hair with a crucifix hanging in their cleavage, our entire conversation was spent with him trying to figure out whether he wanted to fuck me, or kill me maybe both at the same time who knows. This was a challenging interview for me because while he represents pretty much everything I hate on the planet I ended up really enjoying our conversation and liking him. To a fault I commend anyone who has the chutzpah to do something different in a funny way, and let me tell you this mother fucker is hilarious. He's memorized a million sound bites and spits out his little mantras like a tennis ball machine hooked up to a nuclear powered generator right at your head. I can't even fathom the amount of time he has spent in front of the mirror like Stewart Smalley. (I'm Good Enough I'm smart enough and gosh darnit people like me.) Yet, we got along swimmingly...which is disturbing onto itself But let me be clear, Justin is whip smart, and has found way to literally fake it until he made it.. So with no further ado, I present to you J.R.L vs Z.N - 35 minutes of head to head battle...who wins? I'll let you decide.
